Albatross message on Crozet islands tale reaches Europe
A dramatic account of thirteen shipwrecked sailors on the Crozet islands near Antarctica circulated from French and British sources. A dead albatross with a metal plaque reportedly carried their message to Freemantle and prompted a multinational rescue effort. The Tamaris crew survived nine months on Cochous and Possession islands before relief or capture.
